The One Thing

378 What Should Your Church be Tracking?

Listen Later

Data is just a tool, but it's an important tool. Its real purpose? Loving and serving your people better. A snapshot of data can give you an idea of your church health. Scott and Derek dive into:


  1. Average Attendance: Are people showing up consistently?
  2. Growth Rate: Are you growing each year? What's a healthy growth rate?
  3. Conversion Growth: How many new believers are you seeing? What's a good target?
  4. Community Reflection: Does your congregation reflect the diversity of your local area?
  5. Secondary Giving: Beyond general giving, how generous are people with time, talent, and resources?
  6. Newcomer System: Are first-time guests sticking around? If not, what’s falling through the cracks?
  7. Staff-to-Attendee Ratio: Do you have enough leaders? What's a good ratio?
